Not very suspensful.Review created: 02/23/06

I watch a lot of movies and this one just blends into the crowd of yet another movie watched and no real intent of watching it again. Sure, there was some good action and the acting was good, but the story line was a little lame and reminded me of 10 other similar movie plots.

90% of the time I can go into a movie, either theater or rental and call it scene for scene right up until the end. Because as we all know, Hollywoods well of creativity has truly run dry these days, it's just the way it is. They are that predictable. As long as you have a brief synopsis (which usually starts with a trailer) before hand, it's fairly easy for anyone to figure out what is going to happen next. Red Eye was no exception.
But as predictable as Red Eye was, it brought something good to the table that is both rare and treasured amongst the most hardcore movie goer...it had fluidity. Even though I knew the outcome of this movie (it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out), it was completely fun to watch the writer/director's intention from start to finish. Even though I knew the "Bad Guys" would fail at some point, it was still entertaining. The fluidity, as I stated earlier is what made this movie key to that "entertainment". Events unfolded clear and simple from the start and each characters motives was clear. The pieces fell together quite nicely.
At first I was concerned that they'd drag out the suspense of the two main characters, both victim girl and that of bad guy using said girl for a conspiracy, in this case an assassination. But it didn't take long for the action and plot to unfold. The last half hour was a great, although predictable romp of "not this time bad guy". Confrontation and chase ensues and the good guy, or in this case, gal wins in the end saving the day. It's the better of this type of movie I've seen in a long while. I'd definitely watch it again knowing what I know and knew all along. It's just plain fun to watch. Everyone likes it when the underdog wins and this movie makes it happen. It'll never be remembered as a classic, but it definitely won't be completely forgotten. It's the perfect popcorn movie.

A+ for Cillian Murphy, D- for movieReview created: 02/01/06(updated 01/03/07)

I'm a big fan of Cillian Murphy's and so I'm glad whenever I see him playing leads. However, he should have skipped this script. I went in thinking that with Wes Craven at the helm, I was sure to be scared, or at least thrilled, but I was neither. In fact, I don’t know that I felt anything. It wasn't quite as horrible as a B movie but it was just so bland.

" A killer of a thriller"
) 4 of 4 people found this review helpful.
Exactly as the quote suggests. This movie is one of the best thrillers I've seen so far. This movie contained minimal gore but it was packed with so much action and suspense that the gore didn't matter. It starts out telling us the story behind the main character, but I would say within 10-15 minutes, it takes a turn, to non-stop heart pumping action that keeps you wanting more. I would recommend this to everyone, no matter what genre of movies they prefer, it is an excellent show!

Good suspense movie - page turner!4 of 11 people found this review helpful.
I've always been sceptical with Wes Craven type movies as he typically creates Horror movie. He's an excellent director, I just don't care for the real horror movies where I need to close my eyes for a length of time. This is quite an unusual movie for Wes Craven. I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen and this is not why it was called Red Eye ;D
(Lisa) Rachel McAdams is a very professional woman with great intelligence. She was always thinking! You can really learn alot by watching this moving.
Be sure you have your popcorn and treats before you watch the movie. As I said, I couldn't keep my eyes off the movie and didn't want to pause it to make popcorn.
Enjoy it!

This is not a horror movie, and if you have seen the trailer it sucks...but forget all about that...This movie was VERY GOOD! a psychological thriller/action movie, the movie kept you on your toes a lot of tension and plenty of action. Cillian Murphy played an amazing bad guy, and the ending was perfect did not expect it. All around a very good movie a must see!

Works for me!3 of 6 people found this review helpful.
Well, I fell in love with the leading lady in "The Notebook" and here she does a good job as the hotel executive terrorized by Barker. His performance is very good and I am surprisingly pleased with him. I would not call this a must see, but it was very entertaining.

I really enjoyed this movie. I thought I would hate it because it was a Wes Craven film and I haven't really liked any of them in the past,But this one was different.This movie is full of "Kids, I'm sorry but we can't poo poo and pee pee." And thats something that I can really appreciate. Wes also brought back the use of an ascot on a lead character(Creepy eyes). When I saw him running around after being stabbed in the throat with a giant pen I thought "Could this really happen?" So I called my Doctor and he said "As long as you tie an ascot around your throat then it is possible." I was glad to learn this information. Anyways, rent this movie. It's entertaining. Just make sure that the copy you rent isn't scratched. Some how crybaby face magically transported from running through the airport into driving recklessly in a stolen car.How did she get past airport security without her purse? Please, it's practically scientific fact that a woman can't go anywhere without her purse.Crybaby face also sent a telepathic message to her friend (working at the hotel) to get "Kid's, I'm sorry but we can't poo poo and pee pee" out of their hotel room before the giant missile exploded their room only. I was also wondering if this was possible. So I called the army and asked, "If I were to shoot a missile into one specific hotel room only would it just blow up that room or the entire floor or maybe even building? I was glad to find out that indeed it would only blow up whatever room I was aiming for.I hope I didn't spoil the movie to much for you! Enjoy

I thought it was a good movie but with national security at stake why doesn't our government screen and censor more movies that are being made and played. I am available for hire to screen movies and tell you what I think. With this movie they show you in the beginning how to smuggle a rocket launcher through customs. Just pack it at the bottom of a crate filled with smelly fish and ice. Then they show the coast guard investigating a suspicious fishing boat in the harbor. When the coast guard get to the boat they see a couple of guys fishing and a couple of other men on board. They search the boat to find nothing. When the men are sure that the coast guard are gone they reel in the rocket launcher which is attached to the fisherman's line. WOW, do they not see, were not the only ones seeing this. How healthy do you think this is. Check out my reviews as I will share my thoughts and hope to get yours.

TYPICAL OR NOT?2 of 5 people found this review helpful.
It didn't seem like the typical Wes Craven movie there was just enough suspense to keep you watching but hardly any gore. That made it even better. The amount of suspense in this movie is what movies today need and Red Eye did it.

Red Eye is a thrilling suspense movie. The entire movie you will be on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. It reminds me of a Hitchcock type of suspense movie. I expected this movie to be about average before I saw it, but it turned out to be better than I expected.

Edge Of Your Seat Thriller!Review created: 11/18/08(updated 12/11/08)

Wrong move targeting a rape survivor..that's what happens when a handsome stranger picks a beautiful passenger to help him with his assassination plot..the plan is simple make the girl like you, threaten her Fathers life force her to help you kill someone then go on your merry way..however this killers plan had one major flaw..the Passenger is not only beautiful, but she's also feisty and wants no part in murder..the action this movie offers is exhilerating, the cast superb, the storyline a fun mix of romance, action and chills..there are some wince scenes check out the pen scene..ouch that had to hurt! The main character isn't the only feisty one...keep an eye on the little girl traveling alone! This movie is alot of fun, but it may be too intense for younger viewers..definitely don't let anyone under the age of 10 see this film there are scenes in this film you don't want them trying to imitate!! I give this film 5 out of 5 bars, how I hope this movie has a sequal coming real soon!!

Rippner is ChillingReview created: 09/02/07
by:
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Jack Rippner is, to most women, both attractive and frightening. He is the man women want and the man they fear. Jack is a sociopath with the charm and grace of a woman's dream man, but he also has the aggression and temperament of the man mother warned you about.
This film is a picture of fear of confinement and strangers. The question we all have of, "Why would someone want to kidnap me?", is answered for Lisa who is a hotel manager and finds herself faced with both the dream man of her scarred life, and the nightmare she has faced before. With the skills of a woman on a mission, Lisa finds strength she didn't know she had, and a resolve to never be a victim again.
Red Eye is a study in human nature and the strength we all carry within ourselves to brush off the pain and stand tall again. See it with an open mind.

I was greatly disappointed. Was the movie bad? No, it just wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I can usually tell from the previews what movies I would like and which ones I will go see. This one fooled me. Movie reviews honestly don't determine it for me. I can honestly say I thought it would be more. I don't mind predictable. I wanted more. More suspense. More edge of my seat drama. More action. This couldn't have been more predictable, but this was a movie that gave you high expectations and let you down.

A little farfetched. It could have happened on any fli1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
The film was well done and an above average action film. I had seen it on TV and liked it so that is the reason I ordered it. Slow delivery which was supposed to be upgraded. That seems to be the norm from most sellers in that they advertise that they will expedite the delivery but never do. They should not say they will and not follow thru.
